India Squad for Australia: Indian fans were eager to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on the field. Both announced their retirements from Test and T20 formats midway through the IPL. But now that the wait is over, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has dealt fans another blow. The BCCI surprised everyone with some significant decisions when announcing the Indian squad for the Australia tour. Shubman Gill has been appointed captain of the ODI team after the Tests. Rohit will now be part of the team solely as a batsman.

Virat Kohli is back

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned, which is a relief for fans, but Rohit Sharma has lost the captaincy. The Indian team will begin the ODI series against Australia on October 19th under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. This will be followed by the T20 series, in which Suryakumar Yadav will captain Team India.

Bumrah on rest from ODIs

Team India's star bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be rested from the ODI series. Bumrah recently played in the Asia Cup and before that, he also played in the Test series against England. However, he has returned for the T20 series. Prasidh Krishna and Arshdeep Singh have been named in the ODI squad in place of Bumrah.
